IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr., carried the crowd as Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated victory.
After the footballer’s team Al-Nassr crushed opponent Al-Fateh with a score of 5 to 1, the streamer took the centre stage to mark the win.
In a video circulating online, the 40-year-old can be seen instructing Speed how to drum through hand gestures.
After understanding the instructions, the influencer took the drumstick and struck the instrument with full might as the Portuguese athlete clapped in between.
Soon the entire audience joined the beat, forming a spectacular environment in the stadium.
One X user shared another pov of the celebration, labelling it as the “highlight of the year,” while a netizen reported that the YouTuber will be meeting Cristiano “to have a conversation.”
A die-hard admirer noted that “this man really living every FIFA cut scene dream.”
This came after Speed was spotted with stars from around the world for Joy Forum 2025 held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
He was most noticeably joined by Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast, Piers Morgan, Squid Game series leads Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun.
The video of the global elites went viral, raising eyebrows as fans spot their favourite stars in one frame, posing for the cameras.
